Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng replied.

"Oh, so you're a young master from the city. You probably aren't used to this kind of country sauna, are you?"

The old man said indifferently.

"It's pretty good, but it's not spicy enough."

"Not spicy enough? Young man, what are you talking about?"

The old man looked at him suspiciously, wondering if the young man had lost his mind from the heat.

"Don't you think the feeling of being burned and the feeling of being spicy are very similar, sir?"

Liu Zheng smiled.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—but only spiciness isn't actually a taste; it's a sensation of pain.

Therefore, people who like spicy food have a masochistic tendency to some extent.

"Hmm, what you said makes some sense. Would you like it spicy?"

The older man asked the question first.

"sure."

"Medium spicy, medium spicy, extra spicy, what kind of spice do you want?"

"I want it extra spicy."

Liu Zheng said, word by word.

"Okay, but don't ask me for yogurt later."

The older man looked at him with a hint of appreciation.

He picked up the water ladle at his feet and used the handle to cut open his belly.

The yellow fat accumulates in layers, swaying slightly, like layers of orange jelly.

The old man scooped up a spoonful of his own fat and poured it onto the red-hot sauna stones.

The thick layer of fat vaporized rapidly under the high temperature, and the air was instantly filled with the aroma of barbecue and the stench of overburnt, rotten apples.

In Liu Zheng's perception, he saw a layer of yellow mist spreading outwards, creating another enclosed space in the sauna.

As the old man continued to shed his fat, the temperature in the sauna kept rising.

Liu Zheng looked at his tentacles, which had turned as red as a cooked lobster shell.

When they turn white, then they are truly ripe.

The changes on the body surface are secondary; the most serious damage is to the internal organs.

Under the steam reaching hundreds of degrees Celsius, his internal organs were just as fragile as those of an ordinary person.

So Liu Zheng simply took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and mouth, plugged his ear and nose holes with his tentacles, and then cleared his mind.

It has no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; it has no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma.

In the warmth of this fatty steam, he entered a state that countless eminent monks and virtuous masters had dreamed of.

Chapter 360 Liu Zheng: Now I'm really a giant grilled squid!

"Is this kid really courting death?"

The old man looked at Liu Zheng, whose face was closed off, and was secretly alarmed.

Closing his face and nose doesn't reduce the damage to his body from the high-temperature fat vapor; at most, it makes his mind less tormented.

However, if Liu Zheng suffocates due to lack of oxygen, it would be tantamount to handing his life over to him.

"Is he just incredibly skilled and daring, or is he simply brain-dead?"

With this question in mind, the old man continued to splash fat.

One ladle, two ladles, three ladles.

The old man mechanically rummaged through his stomach until the water ladle was empty.

"Finished?"

He froze for a moment.

The contents inside the abdomen have been emptied out; any further emptying would require emptying other parts of the abdomen.

However, if you scoop out other parts of your body, it will cause some damage to your health.

So the question is, can this city dweller continue to hold on?

The old man stared at Liu Zheng, who was already nine-tenths cooked, for a while. The latter seemed to sense something and met his gaze without being seen.

"You passed, young man."

The old man picked up a sauna stone and rolled it over his exposed belly. His belly healed instantly, leaving no trace of the opening.

However, her once loose belly became abnormally shriveled, as if she hadn't eaten for a year.

"The Gaga Shuang Bathhouse truly lives up to its reputation."

Liu Zheng opened his eyes with great effort.

There was no other way; my eyelids were already glued on.

"You're not bad either. Bloody Restaurant lives up to its great reputation; even a deliveryman is this good."

The old man said.

"Old man, you are quite ignorant."

He shook his head.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear your opinion."

"Our takeout department is actually the core department of Bloody Restaurant. Only the elite can get in."

Liu Zheng smiled.

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

The old man looked at him with some suspicion.

The bathhouse was practically half a restaurant, and he had practically spent his entire life working in the bathhouse, yet he had never heard of such a thing before.

Kitchen, customer service, purchasing, finance.

No matter how you rank them, the food delivery department isn't even a core department.

"Of course it's true. Take my boss, for example. He's the most shameless person in the world, and the uncrowned king of the ruthless and vicious world. When he delivers takeout, he has to eat and take it all, packing up the whole family's food. He even has to drink all the toilet water in the customer's house before he leaves."

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you talking about a food delivery driver or a psychopath?"

The old man squinted and asked.

"Is there a difference?"

He asked rhetorically.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to make much difference to your Bloody Restaurant."

"Long live understanding."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Alright, you should hurry up and go to the next sauna."

The old man waved him away.

Although using the fat in your belly won't harm your health, you still need to eat something to replenish it quickly.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng walked towards the door.

With each step, a piece of skin stuck together was left behind.

"Wait a moment."

The older man couldn't stand it anymore.

"What's wrong, sir?"

As he turned around, drops of scalding hot liquid flowed out from the ruptured blister.

"Five hundred dollars."

The old man didn't answer, he just gave a number.

"Give."

Liu Zheng took out five hundred yuan and handed it to him.

The old man looked at the banknotes stained with liquid and blood, and put them into his pocket with some disgust.

"You don't look like a respectable person, but you're efficient in your work. Here, take it internally, don't use it externally."

He took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng took the porcelain bottle, and an item description immediately popped up.

Name: Secret Recipe Badger Oil

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Heals burns and scalds, and restores some physical strength."

"Note: Made using traditional handcrafting methods, with raw materials sourced directly from the maker, absolutely green, healthy, and pollution-free. Verification is welcome."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

He looked at the badger oil, then at the old man's belly, his expression strange.

"What are you looking at? If you don't like it, then don't drink it."

The old man said bluntly.

"Drink, why not drink? It doesn't matter what it is, once it's in your stomach it's food."

Liu Zheng tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of badger oil.

To his surprise, badger oil didn't smell bad; instead, it had a faint fragrance.

After swallowing the badger oil, a cool sensation spread through his body like snakes.

However, the pain inside my body not only did not lessen, but actually worsened.

This is because the nervous system, which was burned by the high temperature, is gradually recovering.

"Thank you, sir."

Liu Zhengchao, the old man, cupped his tentacles and walked out of the sauna.

"Your appearance reminds me of a type of street food."

Looking at him, the Nile doctor couldn't help but say something.

What kind of snack?

"Giant squid on a hot plate."

"My color doesn't look right either, does it?"

Liu Zheng looked at himself and said.

"Add some sauce and chili powder and it'll be just like that."

"Dr. Nile said in a very serious tone."

“That makes sense. The day I stop delivering food, I’ll set up a stall and sell teppanyaki myself.”

He nodded.

"You must let me know when it opens, and I'll bring the bathhouse staff to support Mr. Liu."
